Editor: Anthony S. Bakale, CPA The law known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), P.L. 115- 97, has caused many businesses to consider whether organizing as a C corporation is more tax- efficient than organizing as a passthrough entity, such as an S corporation or a partnership — and for good reason. Among other things, the TCJA lowered the corporate- level tax while allowing certain passthrough owners the ability to take advantage of the new 20% qualified business income (QBI) deduction. For U.S. exporters, another critical issue is how their business structure affects their ability to benefit from certain export incentives. For many years, the primary export tax benefit available to taxpayers was through an interest charge domestic international sales corporation ( IC- DISC). The TCJA, however, introduced a new export tax incentive — the Sec. 250 deduction for foreign- derived intangible income (FDII) — that is available only to domestic C corporations. Because of this, certain U.S. exporters now have an additional factor to consider in deciding which business structure is the most tax- efficient. This discussion compares the IC- DISC and FDII regimes. IC-DISC regime An IC- DISC is a domestic corporation that can act as a sales commission agent for a U.S. exporter (a manufacturer or distributor) that exports certain U.S. property. The exporter creates the IC- DISC to obtain a tax incentive on certain export sales. Once the structure is in place, the exporter pays the IC-...

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was signed by the President on March 27, 2020, includes several provisions affecting taxes. To review Foley’s summary of CARES Act, A summary of the key provisions is below. SEC. 2201. 2020 Recovery Rebates for Individuals Author: The bill provides a $1,200 refundable tax credit for individuals ($2,400 for taxpayers filing jointly). In addition, taxpayers with children will receive $500 for each child. The rebate starts to phase out at adjusted gross income of $75,000 for singles, $112,500 for heads of household, and $150,000 for taxpayers filing joint returns at the rate of $50 per $1,000 of income in excess of the phase-out amount. It phases out entirely at $99,000 for single taxpayers with no children and $198,000 for taxpayers filing joint returns with no children. A taxpayer generally does not need to do anything to claim the rebate. The IRS will calculate the amount of the rebate based on a taxpayer’s 2019 federal income tax return, or the 2018 tax return if the taxpayer has not filed the 2019 tax return and send the payment to the taxpayer. Taxpayers receiving rebates do not have to pay income tax on the rebates. SEC. 2204. Allowance of Partial Above the Line Deduction for Charitable Contributions Authors: Section 2204 of the CARES Act (the “Act”) amends section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) by allowing taxpayers that do not itemize their deductions to take a limit...
